Yes, use the PRESCHEDULECMD and POSTSCHEDULECMD options pointing to cmd files.
Eg. PRESCHEDULECMD: net stop schedule > preschd.out POSTSCHEDULECMD: net start schedule > postschd.out Routing the output of the stop/start to text files is for troubleshooting. -----Original Message----- From: Gent, Chad E.

Can I accomplish this by using the PRESCHEDULECMD option. If so let me know how to do this. Do I write a batch file and have the PRE command run that. There are other ways to do this but I would like to keep everything in TSM. Also when the backup is done I need the service to start back up. Thanks Chad
